Failing Friendships

Today is kind of a sad day for me. I just wrote a letter to someone I thought would always be a part of my life, a constant. For so many years, she's been my person, the one I could turn to with anything and end up smiling, even if things were still less than preferable. It's interesting how the common quote below comes about and surprises you from left field, with people that you never thought would be on the leaving side...

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.” - Unknown

She was someone I thought would stay for a long while... someone I could grow with throughout stages of life I've yet to encounter. I was wrong, I suppose. Why is it that some times people just decide to make cuts and not even let those not making the cut why it is so? This has happened to me a few times in life... I just can't seem to figure out what it is that I do or don't do that causes this to be true. My heart aches today... for the loss of an incredible friendship, a sister, a great portion of my heart and soul. I'm going to miss her, but I must stop trying to figure it out and move on with my life. I love her and wish it could be different, but I can't sit around waiting for convenience to allow me a place back in her life.
